Supermanrjulian 2629.5· July 9, 2025FollowSuperman (2025) Review Calling it now. One of the greatest comic book films of all time. Definitely rewatching it more than once. 1000000/10 (Especially the choreography) (Disclaimer: This review will be extremely biased and will glaze over everything about the film.)“I love. I get scared. I screw up all the time, but that is being human. And that is my greatest strength.” I was stoked when I found out that I’m in one of six countries where this is theatrically shown the earliest. I usually watch films on digital. I chose to watch this in cinemas since I have been waiting for this film since the second it was announced, and my, my it was peak. Best time I’ve had with a superhero film. Not a single second was wasted. It exceeded far beyond my expectations. Loved the classic Gunn comedy and spectacular soundtrack. The acting was so down-to-earth and comic-booky if you get what I mean. Corenswet and Brosnahan’s chemistry was just super. Love how their relationship is already established as well. Happy this isn’t an origin story. Hoult’s performance as Luthor was terrific. Love how there’s no backstory or event that caused him to hate Superman. It’s that he just does.Love the supporting characters such as Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, and Metamorpho. They truly embodied their comic versions. Guy is an egotistical asshole, Hawkgirl is impulsive and hot-headed, Mr. Terrific is intelligent and intuitive and lastly, Metamorpho is a misunderstood and optimistic figure. If you compare those portrayals to the comics, you’ll find it very similar. I loved the writing and how quotable this film is. I also loved the Peacemaker and Supergirl cameos. Clearly one of the most comic-accurate films of all time, showing homage to the animated series, the 1978 film, and several comics.Happy to see a version of Superman that isn’t dark and brooding. He is now a symbol of hope and optimism, not a dark and serious killer. Not one that watches his foster father do something he (Superman) could clearly do. Not one that kills the only Kryptonian left. Not one that leaves casualties, not giving a care to the citizens.Superman is a symbol of hope that stops evil. He cares about the citizens. This film embodies the comics, SuperMAN, not SUPERman.This film mixes Superman comics (especially All-Star Superman), STAS, overall past Superman media and Gunn’s beautiful writing, transforming into an expertly crafted comic book film that feels like pages of DC Comics come to life. And that is only the start of what’s to come in this new cinematic universe. The new and exciting DCU.CommentsSign in to react and join the conversation.Sign inGet the app
